not sure if this will definitely solve your issue, but try formatting the SD card in a PC or maybe in another phone if it recognizes it... :good:

format using Mini Tool Partition Wizard in your Windows PC/Laptop. to Fat32 Only.

First backup your data, by some means ( connecting to some card readers, etc)
Now mount your SD card in USB mode using some other device that support, or the same card reader itself. ( some non android phones are also capable of that, like HTC Smart that I had )
Using some partitioning tool, delete whole of the contents - not just data, but the whole partitions ( I tested it on Gparted in linux. Gparted live medium is available from http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php ). Now your card doesnt have any partitions, or even a partition table.
Insert the device into your xperia L and turn it on. It will automatically format your card to fat32 partition.

My sdcard got damaged now.
Not even computer detecting but also not showing on any other devices..
What can I do now?
Sent from my C2104 using xda premium

If its permanently damaged, there is nothing you can do. As a final hand, you may try inserting it into a linux system, and check the output of command "ls /dev | grep sdb". If your card is being detected, the output will be sdb if you haven't plugged any other removable device.

same as me....my 32gb kingston sd card class 10 is not working. XL always say "sd card damaged"

XL has problems with class 10 cards. I had a Sandisk Class 10 16 GB sdhc, which I was about to get replaced due to the same reason, but lost it.
I then bought a transcend 16GB class 10 sdcard, which the phone showed as damaged. I then finally had that replaced, and after a formatting a few times and restarting a few times, it somehow worked.
plus many others reported class 10 cards not being read on XL
Luck by chance :/

with UHS-1 is works flawlessly

i wanna swap memory internal to extternal, but would the damage memory card when my memory card has partition? i use sandisk memory with 30 mbps 16 gb. sory for my bad english

If ur fone is rooted .. connect ur fone to pc via usb cable, go into recovery mode thru ur fone , if u can see mounts and storage , select it and then select mount USB option .. ur sd card will be mounted .. copy the files to ur pc .. if u have minitool partition wizard , open it and format / delete and create ur sdcard , then copy ur files back into the sdcard .. So u got ur sdcard back !

Try another micro sd card
Try another camera app
Try to format your micro sd card in a different format via your pc

image corrupt problem
please I have a problem... I have file locker installed on my phone.. each time I unlocked the pictures I notice the once I left unlocked take the image of the locked pictures please help

Try out Camera JB, an alternative free Camera app. I think the micro SD card you've bought is corrupt, or it might be somehow not compatible with Xperia L. Try putting another microSD card and kindly tell us the result

Big problem with 128GB SD Card

Hello everyone, i am having a serious problem with my 128GB SD card. I have formatted it on my Shield before using it, but i can't move apps or files to the SD Card. It usally gives a error message. What should i do? Format it with a Linux Distro using GParted on the PC? Should i format it to FAT32 or NTFS? I'm out of ideas.
Thanks.

Mine works fine in FAT32, but would not work in Exfat or NTFS. I am still on 4.2 OS though.

I forgot to say i am using 4.4.2, OTA Update 77.
Also, it is suggested that exFAT with 2048 cluster size would work for 64GB cards. Is it a good idea to do this on a 128GB card?

It's because of Kitkat. You must install "SDFix: Kitkat Writable Micro SD" in Playstore to have the permission to write SD card. You need root access for that.

Do not use "SDFix KitKat Writable MicroSD" on Sony Xperia Z1 Compact with D5503_14.4.A.0.118... because it f..k your phone. When it is on cable (charging) and you turn it off, it will always auto-turn on.

Also same problem with my samsung 32gb memory card class 10it give a error and some times file moves but when i want to see those files they are converted into something u like icon and wont open how to fix it is there a way to fix it

In your post, you mentioned FAT32 which is clearly not "FAT" (FAT16 if you want).

it's an 8gb sd card and from what i've read on internet it's impossible to format it to FAT16
and i don't have the option to format it to FAT in windows format utility i can only format it to NTFS-FAT32-exFAT

Right, my bad!
Well, maybe it's an hardware issue with the SD Card. If it doesn't get detected by any phone but in PC, I don't have an explanation to that.
Let's wait and see if someone else has another idea.

In case of multiple partitions, EaseUS software would have shown you all of them.

I had this problem a few years ago with my Samsung tab 3 and the solution that worked for me was formatting your micro SD card inside your phone, this automatically formats it to FAT 32. See if that works.
Also did you try another android device besides your current one
